Neighbors on edge after homicide at apartment complex in Savannah

Savannah-Chatham Metro Police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened at an apartment complex in Savannah on Friday morning.

Police say a woman reported a prowler in the area and then 28-year-old Raphael Morrell, who was known to her, entered her apartment. Investigators later confirmed Morrell was the prowler.

Investigators say shots were fired by at least one person and Morrell died at the scene. It's unclear who shot Morrell at this time.

Investigators say there were children inside the apartment when they arrived.

Neighbors say they're disturbed that this shooting happened so close to where they live.

"My reaction is total shock. I still can't believe that something like that literally happened under me. I'm a little confused and more so afraid because I have a little girl," said Chabree Mobley, who lives at the apartment complex.

"It's very sad because anything can happen and anyone can get hit. I have a two-month-old and a one-year-old," said Raphael Hall, who also lives at the apartment complex.

Mobley says she will be more careful at the apartment complex moving forward because of this incident.

"I will definitely be a little more cautious when I bring her upstairs or for my safety, I will be a little more cautious when getting out of my car and being aware of my surroundings," Mobley said.

Anyone with information about this shooting should call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020.
